High temperature measurement in an SRU / Claus furnace
Accuracy and reliability under harsh process conditions
The inner temperature of the reactors during the sulfur reaction must be continuously and accurately monitored to prevent plant shutdowns and optimize the energy consumption.
Benefits
High accuracy at very high temperatures
Correct temperature mapping
Improved protection of the thermowell against mechanical forces
Extended life of the thermometer assembly and its components
The challenge
This application is highly corrosive and combines numerous high temperature phenomena, making it exceptionally challenging and requiring a highly experienced and knowledgeable supplier for design and installation. The long-term accurate temperature measurement combined with high mechanical and thermal strength of the instrument is crucial to ensure plant integrity and optimized process.
Our solution
A version of the iTHERM FlameLine TAF12D high-temperature thermometer including a ceramic thermowell, TC type B,R,S and further technical modifications is used.
